How To Make crockpot pernil (pork shoulder)

Step 1

Taking a small sharp knife, poke holes all over the pernil, particularly around any skin.

Step 2

Mix the garlic, sazon and adobo together. Spread all over the pernil and rub in well.
Step 3

Wrap the pernil in plastic or put in a sturdy bag. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 4

Dump pernil and onion in crockpot. Cook on low for about 8 hours.
Step 5

After cooking, if pernil has bones, pick them out along with the skin which should peel right away. Discard.
Step 6

Pernil should shred on its own and create lots of juices. Serve with rice.
